This is a post 7x11 fiction that explores life after Mickey's prison "escape" and how things have changed for him. As he's building a new life, will he allow Ian to be a part of it, or will Ian's choices in the past keep them apart?
Title: Bright Eyes "First Day of My Life"
And so I'd thought I'd let you know that these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized that need you & I wondered if I could come home
I remember the time you drove all night, just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you just woke up, & you said "This is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you but now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
& I'd probably be happy"
So if you wanna be with me with these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see, but I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery. Besides, maybe this time is different
I mean, I really think you like me

I have written Gallavich in my own way! This is not exactly how the characters were written in Shameless, I know that. I made it more emotional, this is how I like to write. If this isn't your thing that is fine, don't read it. I just wrote this for fun, it isn't that serious. Thanks xx
Ian and Mickey are from the south side, Mickey's father (Terry) Is extremely Homophobic and just a straight-up asshole so Mickey can't be too open about his sexuality. The lives they live could come across as hard-going or even dangerous, threatening or even thug life... Ish? But the love they share for each other is real, you will see.
